I recently saw someone refuse to help a person in need of
assistance. The person who neglected to help had the power
and was in the profession of assisting people with this
particular problem. Immediately, the Holy Spirit prompted
me to intervene on behalf of the individual who needed
help. So, I prayed. But how many of you know that
sometimes the Lord expects us to do more than pray.
We need to act!
The truth begin to settle within me. Sure, I prayed, and
we should pray for others. Nevertheless, the person did
not have their need met because I failed to take action
when I should have. We really don't like to say these next
two words but, - I SINNED! I committed the sign of
negligence!
Can we take this conversation just a step further? Some,
or should I say many, of the people around us are
experiencing chaos on earth, and their eternal
destiny is even more ghastly than their current
circumstances. (Proverbs 24:11-12, Proverbs 31:8-9)
They are in need of Jesus now. But what are
we doing?
We're praying, right. Indeed we should be interceding in
prayer for others. But we should also do our part. Time
is running out. We can't wait for others to hear
a preacher, and presume that it's the preacher's job to
offer Jesus to those who are in need of salvation.
All who have been reconciled to Jesus are now
ministers of reconciliation. We are the feet, the hands,
and the mouth of Jesus!
We should continue praying. May we also "do" our part.
